With the exception of XMLHttpRequests (which cause exceptions to fail
silently), OpenLayers should complain in the javascript console about
any errors. If you're working with WFS, I'm assuming this is exactly
what your problem is :) The bug report for that is
http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/534 -- fixing it should not be too
difficult, patches welcome.

Months. September, october? the changes will make it into trunk before
that though.

They are officially supported. You just have to write your own UI :)
